Chapter 135 The princess is very clingy Imperial City, Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Shui Rong, with an outstanding look on his face, walked into the pavilion following the guidance of the chamberlain, saluted and said, "My brother has met the emperor's brother."
Emperor Yongkang was sitting on the Babu bed, holding a memorial in his hand, reading it attentively. When he saw Shui Rong paying homage, a faint smile appeared on his stern face, and he said with a smile: "Sixteenth brother, there is no need to be polite, just watch your seat."
Shui Rong got up. He was now in the Nuan Pavilion. Shui Rong's status was different. Naturally, Shui Rong couldn't put up an embroidered stand like a minister and follow Emperor Yongkang's instructions to sit opposite Emperor Yongkang.
As soon as he sat down and before his buttocks were firmly seated, Emperor Yongkang said with a smile: "Sixteenth Brother, you have been married for a while, but have you rested enough?"
When Shui Rong heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He wondered why Emperor Yongkang had summoned him today because he was supposed to be appointed to the post. However, this had already been decided and an edict from Emperor Yongkang was enough. He wouldn't have summoned him specially. It should be that person. It’s about Haininghou.
After groaning, Shui Rong replied with a smile: "Brother Emperor, I dare not hide it. The princess is very clingy. I still want to rest for a while."
Even if Shui Rong had the intention to take up the post, he would not express his attitude immediately. What's more, Shui Rong was right in what he said. Yuanchun was extremely clingy and his mouth was so soft that he wasted a lot of tea.
When Emperor Yongkang heard this, he looked at Shuirong and saw that he didn't seem to be trying to evade him. He smiled inwardly and said in a clear voice: "Sixteenth Brother, the court is employing people now. As a member of the royal family, you should share the worries of the court." , don’t indulge in pleasure, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army has been vacant for a long time, it’s time for you to take up the post.”
After hearing this, Shui Rong disapproved. If he didn't indulge in pleasure and put on an aspirational attitude, he was afraid that Emperor Yongkang would not be at ease.
However, now that Emperor Yongkang had expressed his position, he could not refuse again. He said that too much was not enough, and he inevitably meant to shirk it, so he handed over his hand and said: "My brother obeys the order."
Upon seeing this, Emperor Yongkang smiled and nodded. He took a sip from the tea cup in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Shui Rong's eyes flickering, and said, "Has Xiaoliu ever heard about Marquis Haining?"
Not only had he heard about the affairs of Marquis Haining, he had also planned it, so how could he not know about it.
Shui Rong paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Brother Emperor, I was having wine and listening to music at Fengming Courtyard at that time. I saw what happened with my own eyes and I understand it roughly."
Although this matter was planned by Shui Rong, he would definitely not be stupid enough to reveal it. However, he couldn't hide the fact that he was in "Fengming Courtyard" from others, so he simply stated it directly.
Nobles of the royal family were not allowed to go to the brothel, but Emperor Yongkang didn't care about these things. He looked at Shui Rong with a look of satisfaction and asked in a clear voice: "What do you think of this matter, my sixteenth brother?"
Shui Rong heard the words and responded: "A noble marquis actually competes with others in a brothel and is jealous, and also causes trouble in the city. It is really embarrassing. According to my brother, he should be severely punished."
Since as an idle observer, it was normal for Yongkang Du to ask for his opinion, so Shui Rong expressed his main thoughts, but the specifics depended on what Emperor Yongkang, as the emperor, was thinking when making the decision. Anyway, the right governor's The job cannot be saved.
Emperor Yongkang sneered when he heard this, handed over the memorial in his hand, and said, "Sixteenth Brother, please take a look at this memorial first."
When Shui Rong heard this, his brows moved slightly, he took the memorial and started reading it.
After reading it, Shui Rong couldn't help but frowned. He had previously suspected that the silver that Marquis Haining paid for Yi Nian Hong was fishy, and he also had some suspicions in his mind. Now it seems that it is exactly what he thought. This Marquis Haining is Embezzled military pay.
The Governor's Office of the Chinese Army has jurisdiction over the soldiers in the North Zhili area, and all military pay must be issued from the Governor's Office. At this time, the position of the Left Governor was vacant. The Marquis of Haining, who was the Right Governor, was a dominant family, so it was not difficult to deduct military pay from him.
The reason why Shui Rong wanted to make this matter a big deal was to expose Haining Hou's embezzlement of military pay. As soon as this matter came out, Shui Rong didn't need to say anything, and the rest would fall into place.
Emperor Yongkang looked slightly cold and snorted: "As the right governor, I don't want to share the worries of the court. Instead, I sit on my body and eat nothing, and I am greedy for military pay. This is the person who deserves to be killed!"
Shui Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It had nothing to do with him whether to kill him or not. Emperor Yongkang was looking murderous at the moment. It was obvious that he was trying to PUA him.
As the emperor, Emperor Yongkang wanted to impose capital punishment on those who embezzled military pay. But after all, the other party was a great marquis of the Great Qian Dynasty who contributed to the founding of the country. In the current Daqian Dynasty, corruption of military pay and short-term quotas often happened. For example, in the Beijing camp, nearly one-third of the vacancies have been taken away by those the Marquis of Haining is punished severely, I am afraid it will have the effect of killing others, and the emperor cannot be dismissed easily. At this time, someone needs to act as a vanguard. Shui Rong is about to serve as the governor of the Chinese Army. He has the responsibility to exercise restraint. In addition, he is one of the founding meritorious deeds of the country. Pulse, so as not to make those people hug each other for warmth, he is the best candidate.
As expected, Emperor Yongkang continued: "Xiao Liu, if the right governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion is like this, the people below cannot escape his responsibility. After you take office, you will conduct a thorough investigation to clarify the world."
Upon hearing this, Shui Rong cupped his hands and said, "Brother, please rest assured. I will thoroughly investigate the embezzlement of military pay, but those who break the law and discipline will not be treated lightly."
Since those people in the capital camp who had taken short quotas obeyed Shui Rong's order, they naturally turned a blind eye. They only needed to pay the money for corruption and receive small punishments and big warnings. But Haininghou and his party were waiting for them at the beginning. If you stand in the wrong team, you will have to pay the price, so Shui Rong does not intend to let him go. In addition, he has to clean up the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion. Now he is using this as an excuse to vigorously rectify it, which will save trouble.
Emperor Yongkang nodded with satisfaction, looked at Shui Rong with approval, and said sternly: "Sixteenth brother, I will issue an edict that you will control the Central Military Governor's Mansion. I will grant you the power to make decisions. You will have full authority to rectify the matter. Call the shots.”
Shui Rong cupped his hands and said, "My brother obeys the order."
Having full power to make the decision was beyond Shui Rong's intention. He originally thought that taking down Marquis Haining would be enough, but he didn't expect that Emperor Yongkang intended to use this to scare the monkeys. With the emperor's decree, the people in the Ministry of War could not talk more.
Emperor Yongkang became more and more satisfied when he saw Shui Rong agreeing to this matter. With a smile on his stern face, he said softly: "Okay, you go back and make preparations first. Tomorrow you will go to the Central Military Governor's Mansion to take up a post."
Upon hearing this, Shui Rong stood up and agreed, then left Qianqing Palace and headed outside the palace.
Not long after, Shui Rong returned to the palace. Before he stepped into the small courtyard, he saw Qingwen who was tidying up the flowers and trees in the courtyard. She was wearing a crimson cotton armor covering her body, paired with a bright red coat skirt and a sweat towel, with narrow shoulders. The waist is so slender that it is not too full to hold.
This girl is holding pruners in her little hands and is bending over to repair the flowers and trees. Viewed from behind, her figure is moving, forming a beautiful landscape.
Youth is youth, but there is indeed something to it.
Shui Rong walked into the yard and said casually: "Qingwen, how do you start pruning flowers and plants?"
The division of labor among the maids in the mansion is clear. A maid like Qingwen serves in the inner room. The work of pruning flowers and plants in the outer room is all rough work done by the maid. Qingwen is a maid with a "heart higher than the sky". How can you do these jobs?
Not to mention Qingwen's interest in pruning flowers and plants. This girl is beautiful, but she is far from elegant.
Qingwen was startled when she heard the words. After she looked back and saw the prince, she calmed down and straightened up, with the pruning behind her back. She glanced at the room, pursed her pink lips and said, "In response to what the prince said, this servant is rough and has rough hands." As for the feet, I can't wait for anyone, so it's just right for me to do some rough work in the outhouse."
Shui Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Now Qingwen has been transferred to Shui Rong as a personal maid. She said she can't serve anyone. Why is this girl so crazy today? He just asked why her words were full of sour smell. , Yaoli Yaotiao, maybe she is mocking someone, not to mention she is still a maid, facing the master, how can she get favors with just this mouth? Shaking his head, Shui Rong moved forward, stood in front of Qingwen, stretched out his hand to poke the eyebrow, and cursed: "You are full of resentment, I really need to poke your mouth with a needle."
Last time Qingwen laughed at Jin Chuan'er, but now it seems that Jin Chuan'er was right. If she really had to poke her mouth with a needle, Qingwen's mouth would be broken.
Qingwen raised her head, raised her eyebrows slightly, pursed her lips, and spun the embroidered shoes under her feet, leaving shallow traces on the ground, and muttered: "I don't have any."
Shui Rong didn't say much when he saw Qingwen's stubborn mouth, and walked towards the house instead. He would be patient with Qingwen, but he would not give in to Qingwen like Baoyu did to Qingwen in the original novel. He would develop a coquettish character. Quite willful temperament.
Moreover, Qingwen's mouth is indeed unpleasant sometimes, but her straightforward temperament and loyal character are particularly good. Of course, the most important thing is that Qingwen is born with a charming look.
When Qingwen saw Shuirong leaving, she stamped her little foot on the ground, snorted, turned around, and cut the thick paper "hardly" with the scissors.
